Good morning bloggers,

Last night Sam and Ntombi were celebrating that they managed to get the finance so that Sam could buy Tsalanang. They then went over to Dlomo to tell him they have raised the finance only for Lungile to over hear this and he came in and made a counter offer which is obviously higher than what Sam had offered. Dlomo seems to have opted to go with Lungile’s offer as it makes business sense. But is he doing the right thing? Do you consider family first or you look at the business point of view?

If I were Dlomo I would do the same thing and take the highest offer. But then again, how is this going to affect his relationship with Sam and Ntombi?

The situation between Ntombi and Sibusiso is heating up! Ntombi is seriously thinking of getting a divorce with Dlomo since he has now run off to London. Ntombi and Sibusiso have come through a lot over the years, from when Dlomo and Karabo had that one night stand and made a baby, to Sibusiso finding out about Senzo. They say, “we have been through thick and thin” but is this now it? Many of us admired the relationship Ntombi and Sibusiso had, a lot of you called them the best couple on Our Soapie, but now that looks like a dream too far.

The drama also continues with Karabo and Paul as Karabo went over to see Ruby last night and she told her that she thinks Paul is having an affair. Dineo heard this and thats when the episode ended. Now is Ruby going to tell Karabo that there is ’something’ going on between Dineo and Paul or is she going to protect her daughter? We will have to wait and see how the drama unfolds.

I felt sorry for Ntombi last night after she came back from visiting Sibusiso in rehab. Ntombi got a call from Sibusiso and he asked her to come with Chrissie to see him. Ntombi was very excited about this but only to get there and Sibisiso only wanted to spend time with his daughter and not Ntombi. This really hurt Ntombi and now she feels that her relationship with her husband could be over even when he comes out of rehab.

So now we know that Dumisani was the one responsible for Rathabile’s interview. Dumisani is a real snake! How could he do such a thing all for the sake of getting Rathabile away from Khethiwe. I hope that one day Rathabile finds out the truth. What bothers me is that Khethiwe knows the truth, she should tell Rathabile what is going on, but on the other hand, Rathabile is really excited about this job offer in Durban, so maybe she should just leave.

I had a great laugh when Queen stormed into the Mashaba Media meeting and demanded to take Paul’s measurements! I guess Queen had to do it as Paul is stalling about this whole wedding thing. I can not see this wedding going ahead at all.

So Senzo rescued Sibusiso from the fire last night and Dlomo has decided to check into rehab and try get his life back on track. That is the first good sign, he has admitted that he has a problem and he is ready to fight against it. It was a bit emotional last night when Sibusiso was talking to Christina and telling her how much he loves her and how he wants to be a good dad to her. Big up to you Sbu, now I hope you can get your life back on track. You have a lovely family and do not throw it away.

But then the drama in last nights episode came right at the end when Senzo cam over to make sure that Sibusiso was really going to rehab and Senzo told him that the only reason he rescued Sibusiso from the fire was that he want Dlomo to be strong and got on his two feet again so that he (Senzo) can knock him down! Talk about a threat from a son to a father! The battle lines have been drawn now and it is clear that Senzo wants to bring his father down. And now that Senzo is on Mashaba’s side, I am sure he is going to use Kenneth to help him bring his father down.

This is Our Soapie after all and it is filled with drama and I can see a twist in all of this, this is what I think is going to happen:
Senzo is going to continue working at Mashaba Media and rise up the ladder there until he has a really good post and Kenneth will start to trust him more and more as Senzo will be telling Kenneth that he wants to bring Dlomo down. But meanwhile Senzo is going to be plotting to take over Mashaba Media and when he does take it over he is going to give it back to his dad (Sibusiso) and say “Dad, I got your company back for you because I love you.” And then Senzo and Sibusiso will live hapiily every after as father and son!

What do you think?

Poor Sibusiso, he is really a mess right now and everything around him is falling apart. Ntombi moved out but you can not blame her as Dlomo pushed her away. Some say that Ntombi should be trying harder to help her man but there is only so much she can do.

Now Sibusiso knows that Senzo is working for Mashaba Media and he went over to see him at work last night and he was not impressed at all to see Senzo working there. Senzo really wants to rub it into his dads face that he wants nothing to do with him anymore. Is Senzo being fair to go and work for Mashaba?

Even Uncle JB is not helping Sibusiso get through all of this. Jabulani himself is disappointed by what is going on and I just can not see the Dlomo family pulling together after all of this. And then there is always Kenneth continuing to stoke up the fire. Kenneth went over to the bar where Sibusiso was drinking and he continued to provoke Dlomo, I would not expect anything less from Kenneth! Then Dumisani even has the nerve to get Sibusiso access card blocked so he can not enter the office. This would really piss Dlomo off but I think it has to be done as business will be lost if Dlomo continues to come to meetings drunk.

Sibusiso even went to try talk to Ruby and she did not really offer him much sympathy. Now at the end of it all, could Sibusiso just have killed himself last night? He was smoking a cigar in his bed and he fell asleep and dropped the cigar on some sheets which I presume are going to catch fire and maybe even burn the whole house down!

After all Dlomo has been through over the last couple of months, it was only a matter of time before he caved in and hit the bottle again! I can not remember the last time I saw Sibusiso drink, it must have been years ago, but last night he ‘hit the bottle’ after Ntombi and Senzo decided to go ahead with the unveiling of Busi’s tombstone.

I think was tipped Dlomo over the edge was the visit Kenneth made to his office and he just went on and on about Senzo being gay! Dlomo had said he is not going to go to the ceremony but then he pitched up, drunk like a skunk and he started to make a scene. He verbally abused Senzo and everyone else who was there and then he totally disrespected Busi by start to destroy everything that was around her grave. I was surprised that no one held Dlomo back. I wonder how this is now going to affect his relationship with Ntombi as Sibusiso had said to Ntombi before she left for the ceremony that if she walks out the house to go to the ceremony she should never come back. More drama awaits us on Our Soapie!

One thing though whilst all of this is going on: Generations is meant to be the top soapie in South Africa but I must say that I was disappointed last night with the setting of the scene of the ceremony. It was clear to see that this scene was shot in a studio with some artificial trees! Honestly, could they not shoot this scene outside in the real world and give it a bit more of a feel? The set designers and directors need to work on this. I thought they had learnt their lesson after shooting airport scenes in a very (excuse my language) crap setting! Come on Generations let’s do some work on this please.

The drama continues on Our Soapie. Sibusiso went to the radio station to see Dave for a meeting and he bumped into Senzo and he just looked at him like he does not exist. Dlomo then went over to New Horizons and he saw Jason at the reception and he told him to leave the building as he was fired. This all happened in front of Queen, Dineo and Dumisani.

Dumisani was not impressed that Jason is being fired. But Dlomo stuck to his guns and told Jaso to pack his stuff and leave. Now why was Jason fired? He has done nothing wrong at work and he is being fired for being gay. This to me is a no brainer when Jason takes this issue up with the courts. I may not be a lawyer but I firmly believe that Jason will win this case as you can not fire someone for being gay.

Dlomo is just in pain as his one and only son turns out to be gay. And now Jabulani also knows that Senzo is gay after Dlomo told him. Jabulani was in shock but I wonder how he will take it. How will he react to Senzo now? So I am guessing that the unveiling of Busi’s tombstone is not going to take place now after all this drama and definitely Senzo is not getting his name changed to Dlomo anytime soon.

The way this story is shaping out on Generations is going to play an important part to how society as a whole reacts to gay people. Millions of people watch Generations every night across South Africa and our children or family members being gay is part of the society we live in today. How then do we react to gay people? Some people have come to accept it whilst some (such as Sibusiso) have failed to.

The writers of Generations have a great platform now to show us what their take is and possibly influence a lot of peoples opinions and views about being gay. Let us wait and see how the writers deal with this.

Many of you have said that last night episode of Generations was the best you have seen in a while! I have to admit that after the boring episodes we have seen over the last couple of weeks, last nights was not bad at all. We were all waiting to see what Sibusiso was going to do after he had seen Senzo and Jason in bed together getting it on.

Sibusiso just walked out of the room fuming and went to get his shambok! Senzo, Jason and Ntombi tried to reason with Dlomo but he was having none of it and he hit Senzo with the Shambok then Jason tried to be the hero and he tried to hold Sibusiso back but instead Sibusiso beat the living daylights out of Jason. Jason had to be taken to hospital after suffering from concussion.

Ntombi went over to visit Jason and Senzo in hospital and he told them that she would be by their side. That really meant a lot to Senzo. But I guess all he really wants is to get his dad back and for his dad to accept him. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Senzo went over to the house to try talk to his ‘dad’ but Dlomo was having none of it and he virtually shouted and disowned Senzo and said that he will never be his son again.

Sibusiso is hurting big time and so to is Senzo. Ntombi is trying to be supportive as it is very hard for her to pick sides. I wonder how all of this is going to end.. any thoughts?

The storm seems to have calmed down (for now) between Sibusiso and Zachariah. Sibusiso found some ‘dirt’ about Mr. Zondo and he used it to blackmail him into giving Senzo his blessing to change his name. I am not too sure what Dlomo found out about Zondo but it was something that ‘a man of God would not do’. I think Mr. Zondo had an affair in the past and Senzo nor his wife new about it. So Sibusiso was going to let the news slip out if Mr. Zondo did not agree for Senzo to have his name changed.

The secrets continue in this relationship. Now Senzo believes that Mr. Zondo gave him his blessings from the bottom of his heart, if only he knew what really happened. But as I always say, the truth will come out one day.

Now that is two huge secrets Sibusiso has kept from Senzo: the first was Senzo not knowing that he got the job at the radio station because of his dad and now the whole blackmail thing. Then again Senzo is keeping his own secret about him being game. What is it about secrets? Just tell the truth dammit!!

You have to love JB!!! As much as Our Soapie is rather boring these days, Uncle JB is keeping us laughing. Last night was THE dinner where the Zondo’s would try and make peace with Sibusiso. I knew it was going to be a bad night the moment I saw that Jabulani was going to be at the dinner.

The evening seemed to start off on a good note as Mrs. Zondo bought some trifle over for the dinner. But then JB had to open his big mouth and tell the Zondo’s that Sibusiso is a recovering alcoholic. From there on it just went pear-shaped and Zacharia and Sibusiso were at each others throats again as they started arguing. And how about Jabulani telling them that they should not talk about demons whiilst they are eating!
Senzo had enough of it and he stormed out. I feel sorry for Senzo, as he is being caught up in the middle of this and there is nothing he can do. All because of two idiots like Zacharia and Sibusiso who can not sit down and talk things out.

Whilst the tensions were high as Senzo stormed out and Zacharia and Sibusiso were left standing staring at each othe, JB broke the ice by asking for some more trifle!!!

Now we just have to wait and see how this whole story pans out.

The plot thickens! I honestly did not expect Senzo to say what he did last night when he told his dad that he is joking that he is gay! A lot of us yesterday thought that Sibusiso was going to explode and go back to drinking after hearing that his son is gay.

But Senzo saw the look in his dads face when he told him he was gay and I guess he decided that its best not to rock the boat and rather tell his dad that he is not gay. Then to add onto that, Sibusiso was a relieved man to hear that his son ‘is not gay’ and decided that it is time for Senzo to officially become a Dlomo. Now when this ceremony happens, and Senzo is now a Dlomo, and with all the so called Dlomo pride, there is no way I can ever see Senzo telling his dad that he is gay.

Speaking of the ceremony, I did not particularly like the way Sibusiso treated Ntombi when he told her that she must changes the invites for Busi’s unveiling so that they include Senzo’s ceremony. What is it with the men on Our Soapie these days and not being able to treat their women? We have Dumisani on the one hand continually abusing Khethiwe and now Sibusiso bullying Ntombi.

We were all looking forward to last nights show so that we could see what was going to happen betwen Senzo and Sibusiso. Sibusiso went over the Senzo’s place and asked Jason to leave them alone so they could talk.

I like the way Sibusiso said he had been hearing some rumours. Then he asked Senzo if the rumours are true and if he is gay. For a second I though that Senzo was going to say “No I am not” but he came out with the truth and told his dad that he is gay. That’s where last nights episode ended so again, we look forward to tonight to see how Dlomo is going to react.
